"I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use our natural resources, but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob by wasteful use, the generations that come after us." - Theodore Roosevelt, speech, Washington, D.C., 1900
The Flathead Conservation District sponsors many educational initiatives to
teach people of all ages about the importance of conserving our natural
resources. Projects can be tailored for K-14 schools, after school groups or
clubs. Adult workshops are produced in cooperation with other agencies and
organizations. Contact us to meet your education needs.
The annual
National Conservation Poster Contest provides kindergarten through twelfth
grade students an opportunity to convey their thoughts about soil, water and
related natural resource issues through art. This year's theme is "Conservation Habits = Healthy Habitats."
Water is powerful! If you live or travel across a floodplain, be prepared! If you need to evacuate, take pets with you. Don't tie up livestock. Look at the links included to get more information.
